Diamond Flattening Stone

[squirrelmaster]

Chefknivestogo has a 20$ 140 grit diamond flattening stone that I have been eyeballing. Does anyone have any experience with these?

never used it but 140g seems awfully coarse.

good point my norton flattening stone is about spent and sandpaper on glass is making my right arm very muscler was just looking for something in the lower price range.

You might need to get some additional info. The one review says it wasn't flat and an edge or two? needed to be filed. The pic looks like a used one or factory seconds stored in moisture? Alot of times my hones go over the sides when lapping momentarily so raised sides are a dealbreaker for me personally.

To add to this any one heard of APLUS diamond plates? ( It's really cheap, heres the page in Korean http://sapo24.com/shop/shopdetail.ht...ch=&sort=order) It's chinese made.

I'm not seeing that about it not being flat in the review................................maybe I am misreading it?

At any rate, you get what you pay for...................
